EfiRoute is a Routific alternative with a permanent free plan, a $29/month Pro plan and a $49/month Business plan (plus $1 per courier per optimization run), compared to Routific’s $150/month entry price. Small delivery teams that don’t need 1,000 stops per month can cut their software bill by 80–90% while keeping Google-powered optimization, live tracking and proof of delivery.
Routific is a polished route optimization product aimed at growing delivery businesses, but its pricing starts at $150/month. If your operation runs a handful of couriers, you may be paying for capacity you never use. EfiRoute’s usage-based model matches costs to actual optimization runs.

Routific’s published entry price is $150/month covering up to 1,000 orders, with larger volumes moving to higher quoted tiers. EfiRoute never prices by stops or orders: you pay $29/month plus $1 per courier per optimization run, with $29 of monthly credit applied first. The table assumes one optimization per weekday unless noted.
| Volume & planning frequency | Routific | EfiRoute (Pro) |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Trial tier only | Free forever: 3 projects/month, 2 couriers per project, $5 optimization credit |
| ≈300 stops, 3 couriers, daily | From $150 / month | $29 + 3 × 22 × $1 − $29 credit = $66 / month (−56%) |
| ≈1,000 stops, 5 couriers, daily | From $150 / month (order cap) | $29 + 5 × 22 × $1 − $29 credit = $110 / month (−27%) |
| ≈1,000 stops, 5 couriers, twice weekly | From $150 / month | $29 + 5 × 8 × $1 − $29 credit = $40 / month (−73%) |
| Above 1,000 orders/month | Next tier (quoted) | Unchanged — stops are never metered |
Stop counts in this table are illustrative: EfiRoute’s price depends only on how many couriers are included in each optimization run, so a route with 40 stops and one with 400 cost the same. Routific’s tiers are tied to monthly order volume, so a busy month can move you up a tier.
| Routific (entry tier) | $150 / month |
|---|---|
| EfiRoute (Pro, optimization every weekday) | $29 + 3 × 22 × $1 − $29 credit = $66 / month |
| EfiRoute (Pro, twice-weekly planning) | 3 × 8 × $1 = $24 of runs — inside the $29 credit, so $29 / month |
Choose Routific if you consistently deliver close to 1,000 stops per month and prefer an all-inclusive per-stop price with hands-on onboarding.
Choose EfiRoute if you want to start free, keep fixed costs near zero, and pay per optimization run — a better fit for small fleets, seasonal volume or operations still finding their delivery rhythm.

Routific’s published entry price is $150/month. EfiRoute’s Pro plan is $29/month (Business: $49/month) plus $1 per courier per optimization run with $29 monthly credit included. A 3-courier team planning routes every weekday pays about $66/month — roughly 55% less; with weekly planning the difference exceeds 85%.
EfiRoute does not price by stops. You pay per courier included in each optimization run, so stop count within a route does not change the price.
Yes. EfiRoute sends automatic delivery status notifications to customers and provides live tracking links.
Routific’s published entry price is $150/month for up to 1,000 orders, with higher order volumes moving to larger quoted tiers. There is no permanent free plan — only a trial tier. EfiRoute starts free and its Pro plan is $29/month plus $1 per courier per optimization run, so a 3-courier team planning every weekday pays about $66/month and about $29/month planning twice a week.
Yes. EfiRoute’s free plan is permanent rather than a trial: 3 projects per month, up to 2 couriers per project and $5 of optimization credit every month, with no credit card required — including real optimization through the Google Cloud Route Optimization API, Excel/CSV address import and the courier app.
For fleets of roughly 1–15 vehicles, usage-based pricing is cheapest because there are no seat fees and no order caps. EfiRoute is $0 to start and $29/month (Business $49/month) plus $1 per courier per run. Per-driver alternatives such as OptimoRoute ($35–39/driver), Upper ($50–89/user with a 3-user minimum) and Zeo’s fleet plan (~$49/driver) cost more as soon as you pass two or three drivers.
